"There was an appetite for deploying distributed environments on [application platform] OpenShift on x86 and moving to [server] LinuxONE and running potentially Linux on Z mainframe series. They want to be able to run all this in a hybrid manner. The only part of their database portfolio that had a gap was their ability to offer to their customers a PostgreSQL, resilient database."
"But the world's moving on and starting to deploy greenfield on the cloud,"
"the best in the industry"
IBM has signed an OEM agreement with Cockroach Labs to deliver CockroachDB across IBM LinuxONE, Linux on Z, Power Systems, and Red Hat OpenShift. The partnership aims to provide a cloud-native, PostgreSQL-compatible resilient database for hybrid and Kubernetes environments. The offering intends to help organizations consolidate fragmented workloads, simplify operations, reduce risk, and modernize mission-critical applications dependent on mainframe hardware without requiring complete rewrites of core applications, though some intermediary components may be required. The solution may attract Db2 users building new cloud-native applications, while conversion of legacy Db2 applications could remain risk-sensitive.
